[QUOTE="Tex_Hunter, post: 1899861, member: 31749"] I went through this with an old rifle a few years ago, if its a "shooter", leave it the h*** alone and keep it around for the sake of nostalgia. If you have the money, find one of the current factory+ offerings like a Christensen, Bergara Premier, Seekins HAVAK, Weatherby etc (by "+" I mean one of the nicer "semi custom" offerings, not just a basic Remington). Most of those can be found for what it would cost to have your current gun blueprinted, re-barreled and bedded in a new stock. If the original gun is a mediocre shooter, and there is nothing about the factory stock or setup that is "special" then yeah, getting it blueprinted, re-barreled, and fitted in a better stock is an awesome way to keep the old rifle hunting, and will be nicer than any comparably priced factory offering.
